Rumor Mill: Halo Kinect Game
On Microsoft Vancouver's new website, it said it's working on a AAA core shooter for the Kinect. Destructoid has heard rumors of a Halo game coming from the studio. This does fit up with Microsoft registering the KinectHalo.com domain, but it could be the rumored Gears of War Kinect game. Whatever the case may be, we might be getting a hardcore shooter for the Kinect. Thanks, REMEMBER CITADEL, for the initial find! (Hitmonchan 21:31:57 UTC) (permalink)
Hey! I know that guy!
CaptainTony noticed a very recognizable face in Leviathan's Twitpic stream... I'm really curious to see the rest of the project! (Louis Wu 20:33:26 UTC) (permalink)

Video Afternoon Fun
Couple of new vids for you on Bungie.net's Comm Chatter today:
- KayEmX and FKIV are back - they've posted the followup to their Swag montage, and once again, it's Sniper Central.
- CruelLEGACEY posted Fails of Reach - FAN FAILS 3 - lots of common fails, but several very amusing ones.
Go watch! (Louis Wu 18:41:15 UTC) (permalink)
Forge Lesson 48: Veteran Testing
Godly Perfection posted another in his Forge Lesson series - this one is called 'Veteran Testing', and involves watching jaded folks who've seen it all play your map - and seeing what they use (or don't use). Go read! (Thanks, urk.) (Louis Wu 18:31:17 UTC) (permalink)
Yeah, I'm just gonna jump up there. brb
Grumpy sent us word of a new Halo 2 trick - Muzza, from jumpers.org, decided to snag the Scarab gun on Metropolis. Without a Banshee, or any other flying device. He just... meleed himself up there. These guys never cease to amaze! (Louis Wu 18:27:47 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 1 Done Segmented - now SDA-Approved
The Speed Demos Archive just posted Halo 1 Done Segmented - the parting gift scurty and slYnki created for High Impact Halo and released last month. There's some pretty interesting commentary from the duo posted beneath the video - go give it a read! Thanks, Cody. (Louis Wu 17:17:55 UTC) (permalink)
Oboe's Reach Bloopers
OboeCrazy has been collecting mini-bloopers in Reach; they're not combined, but they're small enough that visiting multiple links shouldn't tax you too much. Check out how to get a Showstopper on yourself, a campaign clip showing what happens when Falcon drivers drink on duty, and a Reach-based superbounce (no, she shouldn't be banned for this). Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 16:53:36 UTC) (permalink)
Domino's HBO Giveaways (Round 17)
Domino's back, and he has another Defiant Map Pack code he wants to give away! If you need it... stop by his giveaway page and add your name to the list. This one's short - he's picking a winner on Wednesday. (Louis Wu 14:58:05 UTC) (permalink)
That Familiar Feeling
DeepCee let us know that ODS Steve #86 is live - Steve continues to have tricks up his sleeve. (Louis Wu 14:48:03 UTC) (permalink)
Building a Transmedia Powerhouse
Frank O'Connor sat down with Gamasutra to talk about the future of the Halo franchise - it's an interesting read, and while Frank doesn't seem to be able to nail down WHY Halo managed to become the transmedia megalith it is (exactly), he does a good job of describing the pieces that made it all happen. Thanks, ChrisTheeCrappy. (Louis Wu 14:45:01 UTC) (permalink)
The Fails of Reach Episode 8
CruelLEGACEY let us know that The Fails of Reach Episode 8 is now online - several minutes of what NOT to do in mulltiplayer (and Campaign, too!). Fun stuff. (That racing guy at the end should really consider his timing...) (Louis Wu 14:22:54 UTC) (permalink)
Help for your Weekly Challenge Run
This week's big challenge is a LASO run through New Alexandria. (Amazing timing there, Tyrant.) If Quad Mythic is a bit too overblown for you to follow, RC Master has a sub-13-minute run that might help. (The absurd Banshee-through-the-hospital shortcut was highlighted on Tyrant's Mythic Tips and Tricks Vol 1 vid, last week.) I gotta say... these people are ridiculous. (But I'm really, really glad they do what they do.)

SpecOps Paint Job
Eep - almost forgot a custom-painted McFarlane figure that Sl'askia put together - really pretty! Check it. (Louis Wu 12:03:21 UTC) (permalink)
Faith
Interesting - local artist TDSpiral created a pretty killer image called 'Faith'... but we needed onebitrocket to find it on DeviantART before we could enjoy it! (Yes, it's fan-art for the upcoming fan-movie. So that would make fans of the piece... whoa. A bit too meta for me.)

Remember Reach
Raulboy stopped in to let us know about 'Remember Reach', a White Space comic starring the Chief, Johnson, and Cortana. Made me smile.

Halo [R]Evolved - The Silent Cartographer
SonGoharotto continues his rewrite of the original Halo script - he released The Silent Cartographer last night. Seems like we're pulling away from the original...
(Louis Wu 11:57:42 UTC) (permalink)
No, not the gametype. We have that already.
padraig stopped in yesterday to point out a tweet from thevowel, who was present at RvB Canwest. Looks like we know the next short story from Evolutions to be released in graphic animated form!
Update: in case anyone was unsure whether this was official or not, Waypoint's Alison Stoll confirmed it. (Louis Wu 11:54:03 UTC) (permalink)
